REU Site: Imaging in the Physical Sciences

该奖项支持罗切斯特理工学院成像科学本科生研究经验（REU）网站。 几个世纪以来，“用更敏锐的眼睛看”一直是人类的痴迷。这门科学试图更清楚地看到什么是遥远的，什么是非常小的，甚至隐藏-放大和锐化。现代科学和工程研究对成像技术的依赖创造了对新一代科学家的需求，他们不仅设计和开发未来的光学系统、电子器件、传感器、图像处理算法和集成成像系统，而且还应用这些系统来回答有关我们自己和宇宙的基本问题，监测和保护我们的环境，帮助维护我们的国家安全，改善我们的健康。 该网站将支持八个本科生每个夏天的研究项目，解决其中一些重要的问题。REU的学生将花十个星期在夏季参加研究的各种主题之一，包括成像科学领域，包括物理学，光学，辐射源，统计和拓扑数学，材料化学，传感器工程，计算机科学，数据挖掘，视觉的脑科学和感知的心理物理学。在课程结束时，每个学生都将：练习一分钟的“电梯演讲”;对他们的工作进行正式介绍;并准备和提交一份会议风格的海报和一份四页纸的论文。

This award supports the Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) site in Imaging Science at the Rochester Institute of Technology. "To see with a keener eye" has been a human obsession for centuries. This science seeks to see more clearly what was far away or what was very small or even hidden - to magnify and sharpen. The reliance of modern scientific and engineering research on imaging techniques has created the need for a new generation of scientists who not only design and develop the optical systems, electronics, sensors, image processing algorithms, and integrated imaging systems of the future, but who apply those systems to answer fundamental questions about ourselves and our universe, monitor and protect our environment, help keep our nation secure, and improve our health. This site will support eight undergraduates per summer in research projects that address some of these important questions.The REU students will spend ten weeks during the summer participating in research in one of a variety of topics that comprise the field of imaging science, including physics, optics, radiation sources, mathematics of statistics and topology, chemistry of materials, sensor engineering, computer science, data mining, brain science of vision, and the psychophysics of perception. By the end of the program, every student will have: practiced a one minute "elevator pitch"; given a formal presentation about their work; and prepared and presented a conference style poster and a four page paper.
